“Hayley is so sweet! Has been updating me on a regular about my fur baby and sending pictures. I definitely felt very comfortable and at ease leaving knowing my pup does have a little separation anxiety. Definitely will be back!:)❤️”
“Our dogs seem to have enjoyed their stay. Great updates throughout the day with some wonderful photos (Vainy has a good eye for photography). We appreciated the flexibility in changing the pickup and dropoff times as our plans for the day kept on changing.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for four of my own. I’ve raised and trained young dogs, including potty training, cared for seniors through the end of their lives, and handled accidents and extra cleanup. I use gentle, positive training and understand how strongly dogs respond to our emotions. I work as a server only a few days a week, usually with shorter shifts, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available late nights, afternoons, evenings, and mornings. I can work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to accommodate feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and whatever schedule your pet is used to. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities and energy levels. Before a stay, I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along. If needed, I can separate pets using different rooms or kennels, or keep them safely occupied. I also have extra leashes and collars in different sizes, as well as backup dog food, just in case. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and on-leash.
“Tatyana did a great job providing doggy daycare twice a week! I moved to SC and my son in Dublin, OH took care of Louie for a month while I traveled for work. I was so relieved that Louie was well taken care of and happy when my son was at work! He typically doesn’t like other dogs and Tatyana appropriately introduced him slowly to her dog and they became buddies. Louie looked forward going to her house and he’s an anxious picky pup. I highly recommend her!!”

“Cindy was wonderful with my little guy. She sent updates throughout the day which was great. She is incredibly kind and welcoming. I can’t wait for my guy to spend time with her again!!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a golden doodle named Gracie whom we loved. After she passed, we were asked to take care of a local school’s facility dog named Lucy. We have had her for 5 years now. She is the absolute best! I grew up taking care of my neighbors cat while they would go on vacations. When I got to college, my sister got a kitten that my friends were naturally obsessed with. Every minute was spent with him. A couple years later, my roommate got a cat named Tony who we took care of as a house. I am a lover of all animals! No request is too crazy for an animal. I will treat your furry family as if it were my own! I currently work from home, so taking pets for walks or drop in visits during my lunch are super easy for me! Most of my days are spent in front of computers so it is nice to spend some time with furry friends. I follow your pet’s routine closely! That includes feeding, playtime, walks, and medications. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, while keeping your home clean and providing updates for peace of mind.
“Clark had the best the day with Sally! I am so happy I am able to leave my boy with her. She clearly made him feel right at home as he went right to play. What I love the most is that the safety I feel she is giving him and the comfort of his own home. She is offering her place so your dog still feels at home while they are away, and that feels really special. It takes a good person to be able to pull that off.”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love animals. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I work from home Monday through Thursday, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets attention, care, playtime, and lots of love. We have a spacious townhouse with a large, open living room where your pet can comfortably relax, play, and have fun. We also live in a walkable community, making it easy to take your dog outside for walks, fresh air, and exercise. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. 🐾💕
About: You can trust me with your fur baby. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. That's not just experience, it's a relationship with animals that I've built slowly and gladly. At home, I have a one-year-old cat who matches whatever energy the day brings. She's curious, playful, and always exploring. If you want adventure, she'll hike beside you. If you want stillness, she'll curl up while you read. She reminds me every day that the best care isn't just about feeding and walking. It's about presence. Being there. Really being there. That's what I offer your pet. Full love. Full attention. Just as anyone wants to be. They're not just a pet, they're also independent creature that we should all co-exist with. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. So I have plenty of time and energy to take them out for a walk or to play with them. I am also comfortable taking them with me, to parks, to the grocery store, to a cafe etc. I can provide boarding throughout the week so long as I have a heads up notice beforehand. I have a very social cat that loves to play, and I can crate your pet easily as well. I can administer medicine, provide bathing, and walks.
About: Whether you need your dog to go for a nice long walk, have some outside playtime in the yard, or just belly rubs and pets so that they feel love, I am able to do all of it. Being a mom to an 9 month old pup of my own, I have puppy training and experience fresh in my mind. I will happily work on any skills you are trying to instill in your pup. I work full-time from home, but I am always available evenings and weekends for drop-in visits or boarding. For the right pup, weekly boarding is also available. I have a large fenced in yard to accommodate pups of all sizes and ages. I have a very friendly and playful pup of my own who will happily engage with your pup while here. If your pup enjoys privacy or quiet time in a crate, I can also accommodate that. I have multiple crate sizes as well as gates to block off areas when needed.

About this sitter: Caring and very responsible! Great at multi-tasking, pays attention to detail, and enjoy staying active. Why I love dog sitting Since I was very young. Our first dog was a beautiful Cocker Spaniel we got when I was 7 years old. When I was in college I adopted a lab chow mix from the humane society and she & I quickly became great life long friends! I had her for over 14 years she filled my life with love and many great memories. Meet my pets- We have a sweet 5 yr old small dog. Clean, Safe, 2500 sq foot home awaiting your dog! About my yard Back yard is PERFECT for dogs. It has plenty of running space & is completely fenced in. Part of the yard has chain linked fence,so if your dog is one that will jump a 3 and a half foot tall fence, then this might not be your best choice. We make sure all toys are picked up & in good condition so no dog is injured chewing on an unacceptable toy. I work full time from my home so I do have time to give your pup lots of attention, potty breaks, & quality care ! I have a fenced in back yard with LOTS of space for your dog to run and play safely! My clean 2 story home allows plenty of comfortable space for your sweet pup to relax and be cared for.
“He’s FABULOUS! My dog has not been boarded for years and coming to Tom’s home was easy for him. Tom took the time to meet us before he came to stay long term, so when Max saw Tom he was all happy tag wags! This is a miraculous event. I expected Max to be shy and back away, but he trotted into the house like he was an old friend. I am so grateful for Tom!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dublin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
